Five little pigs

I have always try to make myself known to be one that likes to divulge in mind games. But never was i good in puzzles, solving the rubic cubes and maybe even IQ questions. But then again, i was not interested in all those but one. The study of crime psychology. As this paragraph sounding more and more like a paragraph one wrote in a textbook, I would not tell you why but i will share a story from the Queen of Crime herself; Dame Agatha Christie's - Five Little Pigs. This detective fiction was derived from a nursery rhyme "five little piggy" as some of the other novels of the dame would be.

This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went... 
"Wee wee wee" all the way home...

While the story has no whatsoever connection to the nursery rhyme apart from the fact that 5 five little pigs where actually in connection to a case that happened 14 years ago. Hercule Poirot was presented a case where a woman was convicted and hanged 14 years ago as she was found to have poisoned her husband to death. Interestingly enough, this happened as the five little pigs were at the scene of the crime. How would Poirot solve the case this time? I would suggest to my friends who will be reading this entry to watch it on youtube. :) Cheers~!
